Definitions
- the present invention relates to a motor-assisted power steering control device capable of obtaining a constant steering torque having smoothness and comfortableness by producing an auxiliary steering force depending on a steering force applied to a steering wheel.
- a control quantity for a motor has been obtained by summing a correction quantity obtained by the differentiation value of an error value between a target control torque and an actual steering torque, and a basic auxiliary steering force which is determined on the basis of a steering torque applied when the steering wheel is operated and a target control torque.
- a motor-assisted power steering control device which comprises a detecting means for detecting a steering torque of a steering wheel, a phase lead compensating means for compensating a phase lead of the detected steering torque, means for obtaining an error between the detected steering torque which has been compensated and a target steering torque, means for obtaining at least one among a proportional value, an integration value and a differentiation value on the error, a motor for generating an auxiliary steering torque of the steering wheel, and means for controlling the motor in response to the sum of the obtained values.

- numeral 11 designates a determining means for determining a target steering torque
- numeral 12 designates a proportional means
- numeral 13 designates an integration means
- numeral 14 designates a differentiation means
- numeral 15 designates a motor driving means
- numeral 16 designates a subtracting means
- numeral 17 designates an adding means.
- K D1 is a differentiation coefficient
- the error T h is calculated in the respective calculation means 12, 13, and 14 to obtain a proportional value P n , an integration value I n and a differentiation value D n respectively.
- the equations to obtain such values are as follows.
- K p , K 1 and K D2 are a proportional coefficient, an integration coefficient and a differentiation coefficient respectively and n-1 represents a calculated value obtained in the last calculation period.
- the value I n is clipped with an appropriate value ⁇ . Then, a value of at least one among P n , I n and D n is obtained by means of the adding means 17, whereby a control value Te to the motor 3 can be obtained from the following equation:
- T e P n +I n +D n (This is the case when P n , I n and D n are summed.)
- the control value T e is outputted to the motor driving means 15 whereby the optional auxiliary steering force is produced in the motor 3, and the auxiliary steering force is applied to the steering shaft 5 by means of the speed reducing mechanism 4.
- an H bridge circuit as described in Japanese Patent Application No. 246191/1988 is used.
- the H bridge circuit is shown in FIG. 3 wherein numeral 21 through 24 designate transistors.
- Transistors 21 and 22 change the control value T e into a duty ratio of pulse width modulation (PWM).
- PWM pulse width modulation
- the maximum value of T e produces an output of 100% duty.
- T e is 0 or lower, the motor 3 is not driven.
- a complete differentiation is used for the calculation of the phase lead compensation and calculation of differentiation.
- the same effect can be obtained by using an incomplete differentiation (lead and lag of phase) in consideration of effect by noises.
- the calculation performed may be a digital operation or an analogue operation.
- a voltage value or a current value of the motor 3 may be used for the control quantity of the motor 3.
- a feed-back minor loop may be used for controlling the current of the motor 3.
- the response characteristic of the steering system can be improved by effecting phase lead compensation for a steering torque detected and controlling a motor depending on an error between the steering torque which has undergone the phase lead compensation and a target steering torque. Further, a proportional value, an integration value and a differentiation value of the error are used for a control value for the motor so as to correspond to the target control torque.
- the basic structure of the motor-assisted power steering control device according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2.
- FIG. 4 shows a structure of a control section of the second embodiment.
- the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 designate the same or corresponding parts, and accordingly, description of these parts is omitted.
- the control section is further provided with first and second clipping means 18, 19.
- the phase lead compensating means 10 is to compensate a phase lag caused by the inertia of and friction in the motor 3 and the associated speed reducing mechanism 4.
- T s a steering torque after compensation
- T r a target torque
- the thus obtained error T h is calculated in respective calculating means 12, 13 and 14 to obtain a proportional value P n , an integration value I n and a differentiation value D n in accordance with the following equations:
- K p , K 1 and K D are respectively a proportional coefficient, an integration coefficient and a differentiation coefficient, and n-1 expresses a calculated value obtained in the last calculation period.
- the integration value is clipped within upper and lower limit values by means of the first clipping means 18.
- the lower limit value is rendered to be the lower limit value for the control value to the motor 3, i.e., the lower limit value for a duty instruction value for PWM control, the lower limit value being, for instance, zero.
- the upper limit value is determined to be, for instance, 250.
- T e P n +I n +D n (this is the case when all P n , I n and D n are summed).
- the control value T e is also clipped within upper and lower limit values by means of the second clipping means 19.
- the upper limit value is a maximum value of 250 in PWM of the motor instruction value
- the lower limit value is a minimum value of zero.
- the control value T e is outputted to the motor driving means 15, whereby the optimum auxiliary steering force is produced in the motor 3.
- the integration value I n is forced to assume the value zero of a negative value in a region of a steering torque signal T s being lower than a target steering torque T r ; hence, the control value assumes zero. Therefore, the motor 3 is not assisted at all. The motor 3 is assisted as soon as T s exceeds T r . Accordingly, it is possible to avoid a lag in control at the time of starting assistance in a case that the steering wheel 1 is operated from a state of small torque. Further, with the integral means 13, a steady variation to the target steering torque T r can be eliminated, and the target steering torque characteristic can be obtained without a lag.
- a digital operation is conducted.
- an analogue operation may be used.
- voltage (PWM instruction value) applied thereto is used for the control quantity to the motor.
- PWM instruction value voltage
